Chapter 4: Unconscious

The ride in the ambulance was the longest ride he has ever taken in his life. He watched Sena lay on the hard flat cot before him, seeing his burnt body and drips of sweat dropping from his face. But most of all he couldn't take his eyes off of his legs. They looked like they were ripped apart by a lion, but there were also the burns and the long poll sticking through his body. He looked as though he was in tremendous pain and he couldn't bear to stand it anymore. His eyes were smothered together and his eyebrows furrowed as though he was screaming in his mind for someone to help him through this pain. Right then Hiruma couldn't take it anymore; he grabbed Sena's hand and held it so tight that his palm was starting to sweat. He closed his eyes and started to pray that he would be ok and that this wasn't the end for him.

Moments later the finally arrived to the hospital. Hiruma first rushed out to see that his teammates were already waiting outside for their arrival. Soon after Hiruma got out, the ambulance people took out Sena and rolled him in with a sprint like action. They rushed through the doors and into the ER where then the doctors took over. From there on the boys had to wait patiently in the waiting room.

About an hour later a doctor came out to the young men…

"Who is Sena's family?" said the doctor in a mono tone voice.

Right then all the boys stood up, announcing that this was Sena's family.

"Ah I see, well right now I believe you are all his family, but I do need his blood related ones so they can sign off the release form so he can be operated on." Said the doctor

"But, right now Sena's family is not even in country, they went on vacation as Sena stayed to finish playing his football season" said Monta

"So there is no way to contact them?"

"They don't have phones and we don't know where they are staying"

"…. This is a problem then…"

"What if we sign off or how about our coach… isn't there anything we can do in this kind of situation?" pleaded Kurita

"…. Well there is one likely possibility, but it will hurt Sena…. We would have to take him off his meds and ask permission from him himself… meaning he will be in remarkable pain… are you all willing to put him through that?" said the doctor

"Yes!" yelled Hiruma "As long as the surgery will save his life… and also can we be there when you ask, maybe we can ease his pain when you ask him."

"ok then… and to answer your question, only 3 people can be in the room at once meaning there is me and only two of you so you will all have to choose the two…" there the doctor turned around and slowly progressed back through the doors.

All the boys were in the waiting room unsure to what to say. Some wanted to shout out what they wanted to say but were stopped when…

"I believe Hiruma and Mushashi should be the ones to go into the room with Sena, I..I think you guys out of any of us are the most responsible and capable of helping Sena…. That … that is what I think." Shouted Kurita

Everyone turned and looked at Kurita in shock, not being able to believe that he just shouted that out… but no one argued and the decision was made.

Hiruma and Mushashi didn't argue and walked through the doors about to see something they wished they never seen. Seconds later they were at Sena's room. As they entered the room, they were welcomed with a piercing scream from Sena, who was practically thrashing around trying rid of the pain he was in. At that moment Hiruma rushed towards Sena pushing the doctor out his way and grabbed his hand, while chanting to him…

"It's all right, you're ok, shhh don't worry we are here" over and over again… and soon after Mushashi was by his bed side holding his other hand talking to him as well. Tear were seeping through Sena's eyes as though he was a faucet. This was making Hiruma's eyes tear up as well as Mushashi's, they have never seen someone in so much pain and to top it off, it was someone who was very close to them, like a brother. Inside they were screaming for Sena… screaming thoughts on why it was him. Minutes later Sena soon started to calm a bit where the thrashing was just a slight nudge and the screaming turned into whimpers and deep breathing. There the doctor took this opportunity to ask him the question.

"Sena, we need to ask you if it is alright to operate on you, mainly on your legs and where the pole was?"

Sena had a blank stare as though he became lifeless, but they all knew the pain he was going through was draining all his life out of him. "Yes." Was all that came from his mouth and from there he closed his eyes, he was squinting them so hard as though telling the doctor to do something now or I won't last much longer. Once the doctor received the answer he wanted he rushed over injected a sleeping drug into Sena and told the nurses to prepare for him.

The doctor then turned to them and asked them one unexpected question to them.

"Did you guys say that he plays football?"

"yes" came a whisper from Mushashi's mouth

"Well I am sorry to say this but, this boy will not be able to walk anymore by the likes of it…"

They both just stared at the doctor for the longest time until Hiruma asked, "Is there any possibility that he will be able to walk… any at all… at least 1% a chance?" he pleaded

"He has at least 1% but the other 99% is likely saying he won't walk"

"That's fine…. As long as there is 1% there is always a chance" said Hiruma with a little hope in his voice as he gazed at Sena….

Well there you all go hope you all enjoy!!!! R&R also give me some ideas I am always open for them
